You know how obsessive we are with all things merino and it's amazing ski related qualities, do you think that merino underpants might be a good idea or provide a benefit over regular underpants. Oh and let's not turn this into a helmet thread

@Grandma Sunshine, Well I'm not sure they'll protect you any more than regular undies in the event of a crash, but should you be stretchered off, you can rest safe in the knowledge that you haven't let your standards slip when it comes to your pants
An expensive investment though, as you would obviously require six pairs (yes, yes you do).

@Grandma Sunshine, You'd have to treat them a bit like ski boots - get them properly fitted by a professional, break them in by wearing them for several days prior to using them for real, etc. It's up to you whether you break them in by wearing them under or over your normal trousers, Superman-style

I'm sure he'll put on a new pair every day. He might struggle to get his ski pants on by the end of the week though.

My husband loves his, I bought him 2 pairs and he asked for more. They are from finisterre- his are mainly used for walking as they are light, breathable and dry quickly.
They are expensive, but he gets them for Christmas.

@nem, wouldn't Tena be more of a permanent solution than just getting fast drying undercrackers?

@Hyst, I have full length merino wool tops and leggings that I wear whenever I'm skiing, whatever the weather, but I've never felt the need to swap my bra and knickers for thermal types! I'm not convinced I would notice the difference, and cotton washes more easily.

I hand wash my merino base layers, they dry very quickly. You lazy gits who keep turning these garments around and re-wearing them, it really doesn't take a minute to wash a thin base layer or a couple of pairs of drawers! (Personally I don't have any merino drawers: I think the effect might be a bit torrid, given that I already wear compression tights - plus, if it's very cold, silk long johns - under insulated ski pants.)
I think it's best not to air my views on thongs...

@Hurtle, I think it must be a man thing – I can't imagine ever thinking that reversing an item of dirty clothing was an acceptable thing to do
And thongs... *shudder*

I love thongs. I like thinging them as I ski in deep snow.

@Grandma Sunshine, That's for men's – Pringle 3 pack are the best quality/value, I've found. Women's usually cost a lot more

Funny this has popped up as I saw some lovely Rab merino boxers in Cotswald Outdoors the other day and they did feel quite luxurious to be honest!
I can imagine they'd be a godsend for those with sweaty 'regions'

To paraphrase the old joke:
A man wearing merino underpants walks into a bar.
"Ouch!"

I can't bear the idea of thongs, either, except for thinging.
I have a pair of merino "boy shorts" which are great. But I do wear normal pants underneath them which probably makes a bit of a nonsense of the technical aspects of the garment.

As someone who spends a lot of time on long haul flights with the Ahem!!!! all snug........ I recommend Marks and Spencer Microskin.
As for wearing them again. Boak!!! Two per day for me.
